As part of the “Cutting Carbon” project, whose goal is to transfer knowledge about biochar and promote its use in agriculture, we held a workshop at Vodice Elementary school. Through the theoretical part, students were introduced to the many benefits of using biochar, and then, together with Argonauta, they participated in the practical part of the activities.

On this occasion, they transplanted two cypress and lavender seedlings, one with the addition of biochar and one without it. In the coming months, the students will monitor and record the growth and development of the plants and see for themselves how biochar, when used, improves soil quality and promotes healthier plant growth.

To round off this workshop, we plan to organize a planting event in the fall, during which students will have the opportunity to work directly with biochar and soil, further deepen their knowledge through practical experience, and develop awareness of the importance of sustainable soil and environmental management.

This project is part of the European Climate Initiative (EUKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN).’
